You have a lot of options regarding your home during divorce. Some couples keep the home and share the mortgage payments so the kids do not have to move. Some sell the house and split up the profits. Others allow one spouse to buy out the mortgage and keep the house alone, while the other spouse moves on.

A DUI and DWI are essentially the same thing, but they have different abbreviations. Why? One stands for driving under the influence, while the other stands for driving while intoxicated.

Most people want to do what's best for their children when they decide to get a divorce. What's best for their children, in their minds, may be to stay in the marital home.

Dealing with a custody arrangement is never easy. Even if you and your former spouse or the other parent of your child still speak, exchanging custody of the children can be stressful. You need to do everything possible to remove stress from the situation each time custody changes hands. You don't want these exchanges to be awkward, tense or filled with animosity. They will only have negative effects on your children.

One thing that many people talk about before a marriage is whether a prenuptial agreement is a good idea, or the right idea, for their marriage. For some, asking for a prenuptial agreement may signify that they don't trust their partners, but that shouldn't be the case. In fact, a prenuptial agreement can protect both parties and should be used to do so.

The holidays can be hard on parents when they're in a loving relationship, but when a divorce is involved, it's a whole different situation.
